Mauricio Sotelo at the Klangspuren Festival

Austrian première

Flamenco,
Garcia Lorca, Luigi Nono – it is in this context that the 17-movement work De
oscura llama (On a dark flame) by Mauricio Sotelo sets itself. The
composer deconstructs the archetype of flamenco into its many parts and the
flamenco singer assembles them again; a method which shows the timeless and
mystical power of flamenco very clearly.

This
multilayered work will receive its Austrian première on 21 Sept at the
Klangspuren Festival in Tirol. Ensemble Residencias is joined by the Arbos
piano trio and soloists. The composer conducts.
